What’s a colophon? It’s a place where only the truly geeky and insatiably curious tread. In other words, if you don’t already know what a colophon is, you probably don’t care.
The Engine
Screenwriting Manifesto is written, designed, and maintained by screenwriter David Anaxagoras for the sake of his ego and the benefit of all humanity. The site uses WordPress blogging software and is hosted by DreamHost.
The Design
All custom CSS, XHTML and PHP theme coding by David Anaxagoras except where noted.
The theme is inspired by tumbelog type blogs and several magazine and news-style WordPress themes. Much of the typography and the color scheme were inspired by the Fresh News theme.
The Extras
The progress meter in the sidebar is a WordPress widget that I created. Read more about it or to directly to the WordPress plugin repository to get your own Whizmatronic Widgulating Calibrational Scribometer.
The tabbed box on the front page was accomplished with the help of idTabs.
Thumbnail photos and large photos heading the journal articles are were accomplished using some WordPress custom fields trickery.
The mastehead photo is used according to Stock.xchng license agreement. It’s a picture of a red curtain like you might find in a movie theater. Get it?
Icons by Mark James.
Screenplay formatting within posts is made super-easy with the scrippet plugin.
